Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of standard kit	Not all that fun to drive
Five-year warranty	Unsettled ride on big 19-inch wheels
Choice of hybrid powertrains	Plug-in hybrid range not a match for best in class

Quick Summary

The Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) is a popular midsize family SUV, representing Hyundai's shift towards more aspirational cars. This fourth-generation model boasts distinctive styling both inside and out, with generous space for passengers and luggage. Post-facelift models feature a striking curved infotainment setup with dual 12.3-inch screens. Boot space is competitive, ranging from 620 litres in non-hybrid models down to 558 litres in plug-in versions.

Power comes from a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine across the range, with various mild, full, and plug-in hybrid options offering different power outputs and fuel efficiencies. While not the most engaging to drive, the Tucson is a smooth, quiet, and comfortable companion, especially suited for relaxed cruising. Running costs are competitive, with plug-in hybrids offering impressive claimed MPG figures depending on usage. It offers a strong blend of standard equipment and value for money.

Best for: Families needing generous space, buyers seeking distinctive styling and modern tech, those looking for a comfortable and easygoing SUV, and drivers valuing a good warranty and hybrid powertrain options.

Not ideal for: Enthusiast drivers seeking a dynamic handling experience, those who need class-leading plug-in hybrid electric range, or buyers sensitive to a slightly unsettled ride on larger wheels.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Tucson if: You're a family needing generous space, you appreciate distinctive styling and modern tech, you want a comfortable and easygoing SUV, or you value a good warranty and hybrid powertrain options.

Consider alternatives if: You're an enthusiast driver seeking a dynamic handling experience, you need class-leading plug-in hybrid electric range, or you are sensitive to a slightly unsettled ride on larger wheels.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Tucson (2021-present) is a deeply impressive family SUV that positions itself strongly against rivals like the Ford Kuga and Skoda Karoq, and even aims for premium brands. While it may not offer the most engaging drive or class-leading plug-in hybrid range, its distinctive design, generous interior space, wide range of efficient powertrains, and high level of standard equipment make it a compelling and well-built option in the midsize SUV market. Its value for money and comprehensive warranty further enhance its appeal.
